Design of a medium energy, high average power superconducting e-beam accelerator for environmental applications
abstract
We present the technical and engineering design of a medium energy (10 MeV) and high average power (1 MW) electron beam accelerator intended for irradiation treatment of high volume industrial and municipal wastewater. The accelerator uses superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavity technology for producing the high average beam power with $>$90% RF to beam efficiency. The design of the accelerator is simplified and tailored for industrial settings by adopting the cryocooler conduction-cooling technique for the SRF cavity instead of a conventional liquid helium bath cryo-system. The technical design is supplemented with a detailed analysis of capital and operating cost of the accelerator. The designed accelerator can treat up to 12 million gallons per day of wastewater, requires capital of $\sim\$$8M for construction, and has $\sim$13.5 cents/ton/kGy in material processing cost.
